Donkey Kong Country Returns 4K - All Rocket Barrel Level

[@drago2545]

4:05 music synces in so well at this part.

[@jamesdolnik409]

my kid in X years asking me about the rocket levels: do you even remember them?
me, sweating and in half a panic: I remember all of them

[@chocodraws5137]

Oh the anxiety, remembered very well for how nerve racking they were

[@Kirbyfan7209]

The fact that you fight world 2’s baddie before the actual fight is cool!

[@Baraka_Maracas]

You also get to see the final boss of world 4’s train

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

I honestly remember the music to these levels more than the levels themselves

[@ckgaming1022]

Same

[@Ofxzh]

The rocket barrel theme fills me with life

[@pablor.sepulveda9929]

You can feel the frustration on those freaking levels

[@HollowDragonn]

Probably 8-2 is the most hardest i know

[@ethan_1442]

But after hours……we beat them!!

[@lorigamer8736]

But the music bangs

[@Thefunniestman]

@@HollowDragonn for me its 7-3

[@224y-p4w]

2-3 and 4-5 were ez and fun, 4-4 and 7-3 were much more challenging, but still fun. and 8-2..... NO. JUST NO.

[@jesseyatento7406]

The big gears at 10:31 always amazed me as a kid

[@lisaanimi]

This game's artstyle was amazing

[@Vindisk]

I remember beating this game when I was about 6, this game was my favorite and it still holds up amazingly to this day

[@truedeathfire]

As frustrating as these can be… man I love the music so much

[@chrisafton3211]

9:59-10:02 the crushers opening and closing syncs with the music

[@CakeSpeare175]

I can’t be the only one who used to try and activate the rocket without waking up the bats

[@centralplaystation]

I finally found another one... 🥲

[@drakofox1362]

Same

[@spiderflame04]

These levels were a bitch to do as a kid. Hell, even now I need a few attempts lmao

[@digdog66]

It’s worst when you got to get those damn puzzle pieces

[@krinkles147]

some of the best levels right here.

[@Thefunniestman]

How does bro do the puzzle piece bonuses so calmly 😭

[@dangerman1013]

I literally had to skip the bat one because the last part (the part where the big bat is shooting mouth lasers at you) was unbeatable for me

[@theluigi5733]

I remember one time glitching through the giant bat at 8:05, it was so weird that I couldn't replicate it again, but fortunately it does not softlock, you can just roll through it

[@k-leb4671]

10:48
Damn, the music is _sooooo_ close to syncing up perfectly with the end of the rocket barrel segment, but unfortunately it loops for _just_ a couple seconds before the rocket barrel crashes and the outro music starts. Come on Retro, couldn't you have cut off 2 seconds of the level to make the music end perfectly with the rocket barrel?

[@juanmiguel7709]

That bat level was a pain in the ass... I really like it tho because of its animations lol

[@Vro789]

I love how in dkcr and dkctf there's no instructions on how to control the rocket barrel and it just expects you to know.

[@laary7589]

Underrated comment right hwee

[@braquen]

I think that they cleverly make you spam press to activate the barrel, so before you even start you are fluttering the barrel to stay in place. From there its fairly easy to intuit how to control it

[@IsabelleAnimalCrossing2012]

Tiki Torch 0:22

[@unknown_8179]

Let’s remember, some of these animals were shitfucks even before being possessed. I don’t feel bad for pummeling them.

[@Chaotic_CB]

These levels were challenging since you literally die in one hit. Thank god tropical freeze allows it to take up to 2 hits

[@emmanuelvazquez790]

And even more if you chose to get the crash guard in he game.

[@M.Fallani]

Before Flappy Bird. We had DKCR rocket barrel levels

[@martyyyyy9579]

Man. I gotta replay this game sometime fr

[@kirb9744]

Returning in 2025

[@soldatheero]

playin now on dolphin. why is it so hard to control the rocket? all u can do is tap or is there another move

[@angijuan2364]

Try to practice pushing A a few times the same way to stay in place

[@tylerhinkle2005]

I have a hard time on those levels

[@itslary229]

Is it just me or do the rocket barrels have faces

You know why I'm here.

[@anisgamer8272]

The music is sooo good, but the cutscene are super good too

[@YTSirBlack]

Spoilers:
Mario and DK escapes the giant eel with the Rocket Barrel in the Mario Movie

[@Crazycartoonist8679]

That was a cool reference in the Mario movie

[@mcgogy]

my straight fly reflexes on these levels are crazy, they look about as good as a TAS 😭

[@mcgogy]

am I the only one who realizes that this was the og geometry dash ship segment
DKCR Released on Nov. 21 2010 in NA

[@spencere862]

The hardest rocket barrel level is 8-2 Hot Rocket

[@maskyprime]

There are a lot less of these levels than I remember

[@yopyopboumboum9505]

What emulator is this?
Glad to read in the description it may be your favorite game of all time :)

[@NintendoNerd64]

i remember thinking these were practically impossible

[@ILikeSponges4]

OST goes hard, Gameplay is fun (except the bat fuck that guy)

[@Lawdawgify]

FUNKY

[@OhNoTheFace]

I hope they rerelease this game minus the shitty motion controls

[@M64bros]

Boy do I have some good news for you

[@Nope-gk3yr]

The 3DS was always superior control wise. So now we get the Great Graphics along with 3DS Controls
